I love the concept of being so anti-porn that you build an app about porn so you can talk about porn & its badness all the time, and even interject your porn-bad thoughts about porn into situations and conversations that have nothing to do with porn.

#13 The Thing (1982) One of John Carpenter's absolute best & the reason why I can never resist a horror movie set in any sort of isolated outpost. Also people don't talk enough about how hot Kurt Russell is in this movie.

sherman, for the love of god!

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Really feel like all this man wants to do is talk about penises & everything he's done so far has just been laying the groundwork for him to talk about penises nonstop

#12 The Descent (2005) There are about 5 movies on this list that, depending on my mood, I will claim as my favorite & one of them is The Descent. A perfectly paced meditation on what it means to be a monster.

Transactional modes of relating to one another alienates people from each other and from the land.

A culture of care and stewardship can change that.

it's awesome* that food shopping has devolved into a game* of "ok who's been the least fash this week that still stocks the seven things we need?"

Recently I read somewhere that because driving is a complex & potentially dangerous activity our brains need extra focus to handle it & one of the ways they achieve that focus is by essentially turning off empathy.

#11 The Wicker Man (1973) Folk horror has been back in vogue for at least a decade now but there's still nothing like The Wicker Man. Songs! Animal totems! Weird ideas about virginity! It feels very silly right up until it doesn't.

#10 Mandy (2018) In which Nicolas Cage out-Nicolas Cages himself. If I were a billionaire I'd give Panos Cosmatos $100 million and free reign.

You cannot be fucking serious

"Constantly externalizing internal conflicts" should come right after "every accusation is a confession."

Well I say letting the wealthy continue to vacuum up all the wealth in the world is killing society and the planet we inhabit.

It really was an amazing read!

October book #1: The Unicorn is Iris Murdoch's take on the 1960s dimestore gothic romance. This is a book about about a bunch of weirdos trapped in a stately home between a sea cliff & a deadly bog. If that isn't enough to sell you, everyone is secretly gay & constantly chugging whisky 5/5
